I have a BSW (Bachelor of Social Work) from USF. I am a licensed Realtor . I like to stay busy and have volunteered for over 30 years with a local hospital. Since Covid, I am not longer doing that. My greatest joys in life are my two sons and six grandchildren. I am active and enjoy taking my grands to the park and the pool. I also enjoy helping home schooling them. I have volunteered at my church for years, often taking people to doctor appointments and chemo. I have my own car and am able to run errands if needed. I love cats and dogs. I enjoy walking dogs. The last dog I took care of, Sunny, needed long walks. We did 3 miles a day plus. This was in Idaho. Not sure that is practical in Tampa in the summer.
Hello UrbanSitter Families! 💕 My name is Tamara, and I would love the opportunity to care for your little ones! I’m 46 years old and have over 20 years of experience working with children from infancy through age 17. My professional background includes working as a Prevention Specialist, where I taught Interpersonal Cognitive Problem-Solving (ICPS) skills to preschool-aged children. I am also trauma-informed and have more than 15 years of experience working with foster youth. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Human Services and am passionate about helping children learn, grow, and thrive in a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment. Whether you need an occasional date-night sitter, girls’ or guys night out, time to run errands, or simply some extra support for your family, I’m here to provide dependable, compassionate, and quality childcare you can feel confident about. I am also certified in Infant and Child First Aid and CPR, giving parents an added layer of peace of mind while their little ones are in my care. I would love to connect with your family, learn about your childcare needs, and hopefully become someone you can trust and rely on. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones! 😊💗 — Tamara
“Tamara, has been great at showing love and care to our baby boy! She is very patient and understanding with us since we are new parents and are very particular. She is also very professional and allows us to feel safe while she is caring for our baby boy. We are very blessed to have connected with her! ”
Hello! I am currently studying for medical school and am working as a scribe full-time, but am looking for some extra work hours. I recently graduated from USF with a Master’s degree in public health. I have my BS in psychology/pre-med from Northwestern University. I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old when I received my safe sitter license. I am certified in CPR as a certified nursing assistant and lifeguard. I have watched children of all ages and abilities, and really value all that I have learned from them. Outside of watching children, I have skills in communication, cooking, tutoring, and cleaning.
I love watching dogs and watching them inspired me to get a puppy of my own! Dogs must get along with my puppy and he loves to play! Long walk and the dog park are guaranteed with me.
I am a caring and responsible childcare provider with professional experience as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), specializing in working with children with autism and special needs. While I have not worked formally as a nanny, I am also a mother, which has given me hands-on experience in daily childcare, safety, and child development. I currently work Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM, so I am available for afternoon, evening, and weekend childcare. I focus on supporting positive behavior, routine building, and developmental skills using structured and supportive strategies when needed. I am patient, reliable, and deeply committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment for children.

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
Laura F., mom of two
